Stars goalies for playoffs

[NJDev803]

Like most people my goalie situation has been brutal and inconsistent most of the season. With my trade deadline looming next week I've been reviewing stats, schedules, and standings to try to strategize for the playoff weeks (for me March 4-March 21). People in my league are mostly reluctant to trading, but there are a few teams out there with 4 goalies rostered burning bench or IR spots.

One guy that recently caught my eye is Bishop, who's been out since Feb. 4th but looking to return soon. His stats for the season are pretty good (19/2.30/.924%/3), and Khudobin has performed fairly well in his absence (10/2.50/.922%/2)

They have a pretty good looking playoff schedule, and Dallas is currently occupying the top Wild Card spot in the west. Anyone trying to buy into Bishop / Khudobin for a playoff run?

Week 21: Home vs NYR, COL, CHI
Week 22: @BUF, @MIN, vs VGK, vs VAN (1 B2B)
Week 23: Home vs FLA, COL, PIT

I bought Bishop in two leagues. Not looking great in the two weeks since I go him since he has been mostly injured since I got him.

I don't like owning backups, so I would only go for Bishop.

Think offering Marchessault for Bishop straight up is an overpay?

The guy also owns Bob, Halak, and Anderson (IR), is clinging to a playoff spot, only has two LW (Ovi and Dadonov), and is dead last in the SOG cat.

Bump. My trade deadline is tomorrow and I'm still wondering if I should throw my chips down on Bishop. 8 of 10 games at home during Weeks 21-23.

I just don't know if he'd move him for Marchessault. Maybe another forward or D?

[Eskimo Brother]

Marchessault would be a solid swap.

He countered with Bishop + Gustafsson for my Burns + March...

Too steep I think...

I agree that's too expensive.

[NJDev803]

He's open to counter offers. His other D are Letang, Barrie, and Ekholm, and he's pretty deep at C with Backstrom, Toews, Krejci, and Carter.

I might consider moving Burns if I get Letang+Bishop, but I can't be on the bigger side of a 2 for 1 because my roster is already busting at the seams.

Update: the guy accepted my March for his Bishop after all. Now let's just hope Bishop can pick up right where he left off!
